Homework has long been a staple in the education system, with teachers assigning tasks for students

to complete outside of school hours. However, recent research has shown that excessive homework
can have detrimental effects on students, leading to increased stress, decreased academic
performance, and a negative attitude towards learning.

According to education expert Alfie Kohn, author of \"The Homework Myth,\" homework does not
improve academic achievement and can actually have harmful consequences. Kohn argues that
homework not only takes away from valuable family and leisure time, but it also reinforces the idea
that learning only happens in a classroom setting.

One of the main negative effects of excessive homework is increased stress levels in students. With
the pressure to complete assignments on top of other responsibilities and extracurricular activities,
students can become overwhelmed and anxious. This can lead to a decrease in mental health and
overall well-being.

Moreover, too much homework can also lead to a decline in academic performance. When students
are burdened with a heavy workload, they may not have enough time to fully understand and absorb
the material. This can result in lower grades and a lack of mastery of the subject matter.

In addition, excessive homework can create a negative attitude towards learning. When students are
forced to complete tasks that they may not find meaningful or relevant, they can become disengaged
and lose their love for learning. This can have long-term effects on their academic motivation and
success.

So what can be done to combat the negative effects of homework? One solution is to limit the
amount of homework assigned to students. Instead of focusing on quantity, teachers can prioritize
quality assignments that promote critical thinking and creativity. Additionally, parents can advocate
for their children and communicate with teachers about the impact of excessive homework on their
child's well-being.

The misconception that we need to focus on kids behavior, I, my rule of thumb is, if there was ever
something named after me called cones law, which of course, there never will be, but if there were
this, this is what it would be. Pursuing success in isolation—pushing others away as we push
ourselves too hard—not only limits our potential but makes us more stressed and disconnected than
ever. Behavior, no matter how challenging, is not the problem but a symptom; a clue about what is
happening in a child’s unique physiologic makeup. Is learning regarded as a process that's active or
passive. As opposed to a valuable public good, certain entities prevalent in the education reform
debate are forcing schools to motivate themselves by profit and competition. It is usually at this point
(if not sooner) that whoever I was talking with got frustrated with me and changed the subject.
Kohn's book is well researched and he even gives ideas of how to forge ahead. Kohn's reasoning is
simply faulty and small-minded. Inferences made from multiple choice tests can be undermined
leaving the successful a nd superficial students indistinguishable. It won't make them better students;
just bitter at the experience. When do we sit down and actually think, well what is the point of
homework and why do we assign it. It’s being reinforced by other kids in school by teachers, by
coaches who don’t get them and often by us as their parents. I acknowledge that I have read and

story about a book I read that completely shifted my thinking about how Derin and I were parenting
and more specifically how we were disciplining Asher when he was younger. I began teaching in
Baltimore and the principal mandated that we assign homework everyday. Them: Other countries
give lots of homework and we need to catch up to them. A student could mindlessly comply and
perform quite well by choosing the correct multiple choice answer. In the case of reading
comprehension exams, how many reading selections will there be, and what is an appropriate length.
And it’s not just true of generosity, which research shows, subsides or declines when kids are
rewarded or given positive reinforcement for helping, it’s true for all sorts of things. And of course, I
want to take a step back and ask what you can do in order to reach what goal because, you know, in
the United States over the last, I don’t know half century, there has been a move away from some of
the harshest and cruelest forms of, of socializing of kids. Or I could ask how come you decided to let

that we can’t guide them, which we must. And if the child doesn’t feel any gratitude, when you tell
kids, they have to say thank you, or I’m sorry, you’re just teaching them to be insincere. What’s
happening there is we’re just adding more time because we’re killing the intrinsic motivation that
we’re trying to promote. When students focus on text meaning (versus phonics) learning does not
depend on amount of time spent). It did have some moments in the middle that seemed a little of
course to the topic but I guess it was there to add validity to the history of the myth of homework.
But second, because they purport to be a one size fits all easy solution to all problems with all
people. Classroom meetings should happen consistently in an Alfie Kohn classroom so the students
and teacher can be on the same page. This need for agreement, also known as interrator reliability by
statisticians, is gained at an alarming price; Authenticity is sacrificed for (perceived) reliability.

much and potentially cause damage if we only focus on giving homework to kids and making them
complete it instead of working with them, listening to them and learning with them - not necessarily
learning the same things, just that learning is a life-long journey, sometimes we forget that parents
and teachers are still learning too or at least we try to avoid letting children see that. He cites many
sources, as well as providing a list of those sources and about 40 pages of notes at the end of the text

forcing of inquiry, and the idea of nonviolent communication are central to what homework attempts.
Most of the time it was worksheets that seemed to be little more than an attempt to pound
information through her head. We should do more for our kids, and we should stop treating them like
if they don't know anything at all! The key to this step is understanding that there are usually two
problems that need to be identified and eventually solved - one is the adult's problem and the other is
the child's problem. Reading this section gave me insight into how homework affects a wider range

are obvious at first glance (if you're paying attention) like less time for connecting with other people,

Here, the or else is the threat of grades and ultimately failure. One marker for such reflective
parenting is the capacity and inclination to imagine how the world looks from someone else’s point
of view. This book treats this more as an aside in attempt to focus instead on the data of
effectiveness. That helps the child to construct a sense of himself as a person who wants to make
other people happy, as opposed to praise, which just leads the kid to think about how do I make
mommy or daddy happy. That’s why anyone who, you know, the central etiology that gets in the way

can see things through my child’s eyes, I’m more likely to work with her than to do things to her.
Some people's argument in this modern age is that if kids are not given homework (or made to do

his book, it appears there are better ways to motivate children and better ways to give them a lifelong
